I have fond memories of Elementary School, and these peanut butter bars are still a favorite of mine. I loved the days that these were part of lunch as a kid.

Lunch Lady Peanut Butter Bars
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 cup salted butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups creamy peanut butter {divided}
- 2 cups old fashioned oatmeal
- 2 cups flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4-1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup chocolate chips {or more depending on your personal preference}
Instructions
-
Cream the salted butter and the sugars together until smooth.
-
Add the eggs, vanilla, and 1 cup peanut butter.
-
Add oatmeal and mix thoroughly.
-
Mix the flour, baking soda, and salt separately, and add gradually.
-
Press into a jelly roll pan {cookie sheet}
-
Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.
-
While the bars are baking, combine 1/4 c milk and 1 cup of peanut butter and blend until smooth. Add more milk if you need to until it's creamy.
-
After the bars come out of the oven, carefully spread the whipped peanut butter over the top.
-
To do so easily, drop small amounts of the peanut butter across the pan and it will be easier to spread.
-
Sprinkle chocolate chips across the top of the peanut butter, and put the pan back into the hot oven for 1-2 minutes to melt the chocolate chips.
-
Swirl the peanut butter frosting and chocolate together to create a marbled frosting.
-
Cool and enjoy.
